Well you weren't shagged, but the power inverter wasn't in most boxes!

Is this the one that was on the site July 24? I ordered one of those too. I wonder if I'll get the same.

I'm not much of an audiophile but aren't those cables for some sort of digital audio output? Were they called something like TOSlink? Is this it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOSLINK

The RF modualtors were probably the kind of thing used to hook up a DVD player to an older TV without RCA jacks. I actually have use for one of those. My old one broke.

Car cassette adapters - wow! How many cars are still on the road with cassette players? I did have one or two of these from some old MBs and did manage to sell them for a few bucks at a garage sale.

I'm not quite sure what the cord might be.

Tyke light? Do you need to put a light on kids?

My IHTHT box showed up today as well. The rundown -
USEFUL:
Universal 4 in 1 remote - a cheapie, but I needed one and it works
RF modulator - mine stopped working a while ago. I can use this to hook a DVD player to an older TV I keep by my treadmill
Tyke Light - nice bicycle light - really bright
OF NO USE - MAYBE FUTURE GARAGE SALE:
3' optical cable
Motorola Razr case
Cassette adapter
2 - 50' phone cords with connector

Shipping weight - 4 pounds.

This really wasn't too bad. The remote is probably worth $5, the RF modulator around $10, and the light is maybe $3. So I guess that covers the cost of the box. I figure I got the other five items for the cost of shipping and should be able to actually come out ahead a few bucks on it.

I did like getting a number of smaller items. It reminded me of some of TF's earlier MBs.

Of course, there are still a number of those old, outdated items. But, that's the way it goes. Although I'm not crazy about the haul on this, I just might give IHTHT another shot when a mystery comes up.

Now, here's hoping that TF pulls through!

bought two of those i got.

Ipod Nano Jam jacket Clear
PS3 HD-Link
3ft Optical Cable (2)
2" Handiclamp CNTR DSP
CD/DVD Cleaining Wipes with Fluid
RF Modulator (2)
Stroller or Bicycle Light
Cassette Adapter for CD/Ipod/MP3 Players (2)
E Commerce Kit (2) (What is this?)

Can you please rate and tell me how much this is worth?

The Digital Optical Audio Cable is for audio devices, receivers, or TV's that have the optical audio audio out/in ports. You would usually see a red light coming from the ports. It is usually a 5.1 surround sound port that allows you to plug one cable in to transfer all 6 audio channels on one cable. Some computers have them too, it is because light can hold more data than a normal RCA red/white set of audio cables.

The black box is exactly what you guessed. If you had a fairly old TV with only a coax cable input for let's say Cable TV or an antenna then you could use this box to plug any device that has the RCA/S-Video ports, i.e. DVD player, VHS, A/V Receiver, etc. Most people would have no use for this, you would have to have a very old TV, even a TV I bought 10 years ago already had RCA inputs.

Hope that helps. I just had to reply to this post.

Madcran, thanks! I don't have any equipment old enough or new enough to use either of those items. I will have to update my trade list soon. Do you have any idea what the terminal/connector things are? I'm sure it is also something I don't need. Too bad I didn't get the stroller light.

I ordered two MB's and one Noise Canceling Headphones, and this is what I got in the same box:
One HPNC250 Noise Canceling Headphones (not packaged)
Five Sun Cleaning Gloves
One GM1247W Gemini USB Universal Connector Set
Two CD Laser Lens Cleaners
Two Koss earbuds (lifetime warrant!)
One Cellboost (disposable? battery charger for cell phones)
Two SWV6434D/17 Philips 12 ft HDMI cables
Two CL008 Quartex Vertical Analog Alarm Clocks/Weather Stations
Two CL005 Quartex Analog Alarm Clocks with Flashlight Clock(accurate to 45 seconds per month)
One GNL Gemini USB Notebook Light
One 50433 GE Incandescent Night Light
Two 121WW Altec Lansing Series 100 3-Piece Speaker Systems

Mine was almost identical.

What kind of mystery box did those items come from . I'm waiting for my 8.95 M box before checking out on other boxes. It says one item but it would be cool to grab some of the items I see.

got my mb yesterday same as rest but got a book light instead of a cell booster
oh well still happy with all just like the umteen mbs I have ordered in the past

keep up all the great work shaggy an the rest of the court
